Complete Piping Solutions Featuring the Parflange® F37 Non-Welded System

Robust technology is the foundation of Parker CPS. Parflange F37 non-welded piping systems utilize standard SAE Code 61/62, ISO 6162 and ISO 6164 flange inter-faces. Parflange F37 is fully complemented with Parker’s fabrication equipment and a broad range of interconnect components, valves, clamps and seamless tubes.

Parker’s Parflange F37 product range includes certified components capable of providing non-welded piping systems up to 273 mm with wall thicknesses to 25 mm (10" x 1").

The Parflange F37 system utilizes two core connection technologies to achieve leak-free non-welded connections: F37 Flare and F37 Retaining Ring. The Flare Flange produces a smooth, clean, high-strength flared tube end that is fitted with a soft sealed tube insert. For higher-pressure systems, Parker’s F37 Retaining Ring Flange system utilizes a retaining ring for flange retention along with a highly engineered seal carrier for leak-free performance. For low-pressure applications, Parker offers an F37 RR Light Duty series retaining ring flange system specifically designed for weight and space savings, while providing comparable non-welded piping system advantages.

Why Non-Welded Piping and Prefabricated Assemblies from Parker:

A comparison of three approaches to a 2" – 4" piping system:

Parker CPS System with Cold Bent 90•Welds:0•ElbowFittings:0•Coldbends:2•WeldingFabricationTime:N/A•SystemFlushingTime:Low•FlowCharacteristics:Best•InstalledTime:Lowest•TotalInstalledCost:Lowest

Summary: Parker’s Parflange F37 System reduces installed cost by reducing welding and fabrication time. Since no weld contaminants are introduced to the system, flushing time can be dramatically reduced as well. Combining this with Parker CPS center’s cold bending capabilities, additional improvements in installation time and flow characteristics are evident.

ConsultationandDesign

Consultation and DesignThe Parker CPS team of engineers offers expert consultation and design services.

During consultation, the customer’s project requirements are reviewed with the CPS engineering team to determine the best-suited services. Technical and commercial requirements are

reviewed. Line sizing, clamping requirements, routing, and environmental and safety concerns are considered during this early stage, as well as early commercial options.

Parker’s CPS team provides a tailored proposal to match the customer’s technical and commercial requirements whether the project is a line expansion, retrofit of existing piping system or for OEM piping assemblies. This key collaborative planning provides a solid foundation for subsequent design work, as well as for fabrication of piping assemblies at a CPS center or on site.

As the project enters the design stage, Parker’s engineer- to-engineer collaboration with the customer ensures that all technical requirements are met.

Depending on the scope of work, piping assemblies are designed either on the jobsite or at the CPS center. Our piping designers are experts in on-site measurement/surveying, development or modification of detailed piping drawings, and steadfast review of customer technical specifications and applicable standards.

Prefabricated Assemblies and InstallationsParker’s CPS team migrates the upfront piping engineering to factory prefabricated pipe assemblies with several installation options.

With state-of-the-art CNC large- and small-capacity bending equipment, as well as all complementary pipe end finishing equipment, the CPS team expertly manufactures prefabricated piping assemblies.

By using cold drawn seamless tubes, the non-welded Parflange F37 system is inherently cleaner than welded piping systems, providing the benefit of reduced system flushing time. The CPS center employs Parker filtration and condition monitoring technologies to bring piping cleanliness to documented customer require-ments. On-site leak-proof testing services can also be specified.

Parker delivers fabricated pipe assemblies to the worksite. These pipe assemblies will be protected, labeled and ready for installation by the customer or Parker.

With the largest CNC cold bending capabilities in the industry, Parker’s CPS team specializes in the factory fabrication of pre-bent piping assemblies. These assemblies reduce much of the on-site design and fabrication and allow for the most efficient installation on the jobsite. When the project does not allow for prefabrication of assemblies, Parker’s CPS techni-cians dispatch these capabilities to the job.

Parker is fully engaged in the on-site installation of piping assemblies. A Parker CPS project manager leads the team of trained installers to maximize installation throughput and quality of installation work. Parker’s lead role in overseeing the project from start to finish, and in ensuring that the installed piping system meets all requirements, instills a high degree of customer confidence.

The on-site piping installation service also enables quick reaction to unforeseen project obstacles or design changes. Costly project delays and downtime are dramatically minimized.

Parker provides best-in-class

non-welded piping systems.

Whether the scope of the

project requires the complete

redesign of a welded piping

system or the fabrication and

delivery of a pre-engineered

non-welded piping assembly,

Parker CPS will engineer

a solution to maximize

customer value.
